Action brought on 19 May 2017 — Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking v Revoind Industriale
(Case T-318/17)
(2017/C 231/66)
Language of the case: English
Parties
Applicant: Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking (CSJU) (represented by: B. Mastantuono, Agent and M. Velardo, lawyer)
Defendant: Revoind Industriale Srl (Oricola, Italy)
Form of order sought
The applicant claims that the Court should:
|
— |
order the defendant to pay the CSJU the amount of EUR 359 913,75 in relation to the Grant Agreement for partners No 325940 ‘EULOSAM — Design and Manufacturing of Baseline Low-Speed, Low-Sweep Wind Tunnel Model’, plus the amount of EUR 2 105,25 as late payment interest calculated at a rate of 3,5 % for the period between 31 January and 1 April 2017; |
|
— |
order the defendant to pay EUR 34,51 per day by way of interest from 2 April 2017 until the date on which the debt is repaid in full; and |
|
— |
order the defendant to pay the costs of the present proceedings. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicant relies on the following plea in law.
The applicant contends that the defendant has breached its contractual obligations, by failing to implement project EULOSAM and by failing to provide CSJU with the relevant reports and deliverables, in accordance with Article II.2 Annex II of the Grant Agreement.
Moreover, the defendant has failed to carry out the work to be performed as identified in Annex I therefore violating its obligations under Article II.3 lett. a) e) and h) of Annex II of the Grant Agreement.
Accordingly, the consortium terminated the Grant Agreement and issued debit note for the pre-financing of EUR 359 913,75 that had already been paid by the coordinator to the defendant in compliance with the provisions of the Grant Agreement. Indeed the pre-financing remains the property of the applicant until final payment.
The facts giving rise to Revoind Industriale S.r.l.’s obligations, as beneficiary of the Grant Agreement, are widely undisputed in the present case and the defendant’s objections are generic, incomplete and lack of any supporting element, thus appear to be completely unfounded.
Accordingly, the applicant is entitled to ask for the recovery and the reimbursement of the amount paid to the defendant as pre-financing, increased by default interest.
